I think its cute and I admire your ingenuity. Just yesterday I saw where someone was wanting directions on making a necktie quilt, I’ve never seen one, but I have heard about them and know a lady who made one, however, I never saw hers. She told me about it and the way she described it, it was colorful and rather attractive. Have you ever heard of one or seen one or do you know how to mske one?
